| Dust Blow, Mauritania: Hot, dry winds that blow out of the northeast or east primarily during the winter are the probable cause for the dust blowing out of Mauritania and into the Atlantic Ocean. These clouds of dust can extend several hundreds of kilometers out into the Atlantic. The winds are part of a low pressure center that forms on the northern coast of the Gulf of Guinea. |
